A transcendental moment in my life when I turned 18
It was a license to the world
A driving factor in my 'war of teenage independence'
To drive alone, my cause unfurled
[CHORUS]
And all my life I
I drive my
Indecision
With the fact that there's unknown
I'll try to find why
I still try
To swim up current
And keep my head up and move on forward when it gets deep
For everything else,
There's the Jeep
I spent four years in part-time jobs and high school hangouts
In the same ride, I had arrived
And college thruway rides, or Union road when she abides it,
I take for granted in my life
[BRIDGE]
They say that joy is
The journey, not the destination
Upon investigation
All my joy is happening from you
[CHORUS]
A transcendental moment in my life when i turned 18
It was a license to the world

I drew chalk lines
In front of the driveway
When I used to play as a child
What I wrote I can't be sure
But adorning your bumper
Was a piece or two of my utensil
And I'm sure you drove 30 miles
And coming back you drove 30 more
But the chalk was still there when you came back
Walking through our door
[CHORUS]
And it's these memories
I'll take with me
Endlessly
It was Sunday
Of that I can't be sure
My guess is from the pure morning sun
I remember rides through town
You'd get off work, we'd go around
I guess a piece of me is still in that truck
[CHORUS]
You sold the truck down to a neighbor
And years would go by
Where it'd go by and I'd savor
The blue that held my childhood
[CHORUS]

Two roads diverge in yellow wood
And I'm choosing to travel both
Ignoring the clear mistake
Of spreading too evenly thin
And time will tell for me
Just as it does everyone
But I will be just fine
Singing the melody
Of the wheel's soft, dulcet tones
Whistling in tune with the road
[CHORUS]
But if I had my way
I would drive as far as I could from it all
Whistling in tune with the road
And when I get my way
I will drive as far as I can from it all
Whistling in tune with the road
[CHORUS]
Whistling in tune with the road
Whistling in tune with the road

I know we're just trying to make it
I know all that we can do is try
If you take both our situations
The basics underlie
I know we've been keeping late nights
I know we're driven to our goal
A socially starving artist
For what we can't control
[CHORUS]
But it's hard for me
Is it hard for you?
Everything gets in the way sometimes
Just have to find a way to push through
I know we're just trying to make it
I know all this shit has gone awry
If we look at the situation
Can't help but wonder why
I've known you for years and years now
I know you in blood ties we've never had
A social separation
Not going everywhere
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
So pack everything
In your beat up Camry
We can drive all night on a tank
And lets see where we are
When the gas and road both run out
I wouldn't have it any other way
[CHORUS]x2
Everything gets in the way sometimes
Just have to find a way to make it through

When we tried to find some solid ground to stand on
It just seemed solid on the edge
And the few things that we never had in common
Couldn't begin to break our pledge
[PRECHORUS]
At the end of the day, you'd pull into my driveway
and commiserate with words once left unsaid
[CHORUS]
We put a pin in the things said in your car
Place holder for where those thoughts still are
We put a pin in the things we said
We put a pin in the things said in your car
We never thought'd that we'd fall far
From the time we were stealing
But how are you feeling
About it now
And I know we aren't as close as we once we when we were young
But that wouldn't've stopped us then and it sure won't now
In some clever ploy by Fall Out Boy we advertised all summer
Through the streets of our town
[PRECHORUS]
[CHORUS]x2

Joe Spahn (singing)-
Hear the beating
Of my heart
As we start
Playing lines from the very first song
The palpitations
Were preparations for me
Collecting adrenaline as an onstage keepsake
I remember
From the start
In my heart
This is where I know I want to be
[PRECHORUS]
And every time we think of trying again there's always something
In our way
(TSA-)
[CHORUS]
So here goes something
Of knowing nothing
And trying everything
I'll try to write you
A punk song
And have something to say
So go on
With the show
We always talk about it
In the back
Cadillac bench seats
And doors which never shut just how they should
I remember
A time when
You brought a song to me, a new direction
From the start
In my heart
This is where I know I want to be
[PRECHORUS]

Just then, as the wheels hit the pavement
I felt the years we'd spent together in the lock of our eyes
Making our way in your grandmother's car
I fell in your grace with which I'm really quite enamored
And we kept pace, when everyone else seemed to stammer
Through all the troubles we've had, we've always had we
And that's all I'll ever need
[CHORUS]
And I, will always find my way to you
Kinda hard to see the silver lining in the
Black cloud that covers our immediate landscape
But a break in the sky isn't too far ahead
And I'll be here to light the way
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
And when you finally reach the city
If you ever start to miss me
Just call on me
And I'll be there
I know it's an adage we should ponder
That absence makes the heart grow fonder
But I know all the fondness I could hope to accrue
Would put me right next to you
[CHORUS]
Just then as the wheels gripped the pavement
I felt the years we had spent together
I said goodbye for now
But not forever
